Brighton Station Taxi Pickups (BN1)

Brighton Railway Station is one of our busiest pickups. Pre-book and your driver collects you from the station instead of you joining the rank queue — useful after a late train or with heavy bags. We also run to and from Hove, Preston Park, London Road and Falmer stations.
